Finland

When it's cold in Finland it's really cold. The temperature sometimes drops to minus 40°C. In the country of Santa Claus, it’s necessary. And in his village Rovaniemi, one celebrates Christmas all year. It is said of a Finnish that he is very reserved in his relations with others, but at the same time he goes naked into the sauna without being shy. Naked of course for hygienic reasons, innocently men and women together. Country of 1,000s lakes, country of 1,000s inventions because in Finland you find a lot of new technologies. Many start-ups are established everywhere and creativity abounds. At school, children are first of all taught to be happy, ‘it is so important’, say the Finns. The current President Sauli Niinistö of the Republic of the 5.3 million Finns was elected in 2012 and for 6 years.
